What are your everyday makeup essentials? I’ve been more conscientious about my buying habits which makes packing a makeup bag to travel so much easier.
1. @supergoop Glow screen SPF 40 as my primer & SPF in 1. Saves space & $.
2. @charlottetilbury Magic foundation. I have really translucent skin so like decent coverage. I definitely find foundations an item worth spending more on.
3. @tartecosmetics shape tape concealer. I love a really bright face & concealers are worth splurging on as cheaper ones tend to crease.
4. @charlottetilbury mascara. I have fine lashes so need a good mascara but if you’re blessed with great lashes def save vs splurge on this product.
5. @katvond ‘Dagger’ liquid eyeliner. I haven’t found much difference in luxury vs budget brands but use this one as it’s vegan, cruelty-free & has a dagger shape which helps create a winged line.
6. Blush & highlighter, I bounce around on brands for this but am using liquid right now as I find it settles in my creases less & I can apply with my fingers so I can pack a couple less brushes when I travel.
7. Brows - you can totally save vs splurge on this product as long as it’s a good color match.
8. Setting spray-I love @iconic.london Prep Set Glow as it’s super dewy and golden. You can also use it as a primer & to refresh throughout the day.
9. @dawescustomcosmetics (my co.) hydrating, plumping lip mask (clear). If I’m doing a natural look this is enough for a bit of shine & hydration. I find a big difference in brands & think it’s worth spending on more natural brands to avoid a lot of the chemicals in some lipsticks & glosses as they’re closest to our mouths & easiest to ingest.
10. I have to powder as I get super dewy naturally as I find it helps set makeup but if you prefer more of a glow you could totally skip this & just use setting spray.
